[Videolib] Percentage allocation formula
Dear Colleagues, Our library is considering implementing percentage allocation formula for acquisition of library materials including audiovisual materials. Basically, what this approach advocates is that the library's materials budget should follow the university's budget allocation to each department. For example, if the university is spending 10% of its budget for the Science department, the library should expend 10% of its budget for acquisition of materials on science. I've voiced my objection to this approach since it does not take into consideration the nature of each discipline. My logic is that if the university is expending 10% of its budget for the mathematics department because it is one the most popular disciplines of the university, this does not mean that the mathematics department needs 10% of the audiovisual budget since it does not use AV materials as much as other disciplines. On the other hand, the university may have a very small department of art or music and spends only 1% of its budget for that discipline. But that department's need of audiovisual materials is much higher than 1% of the audiovisual budget of the library. Does anyone has an experience in implementing this formula? Has it worked for you? I highly appreciate your input. Thanks.

Re: [Videolib] Percentage allocation formula
Hi, We do a mixed approach. The regular library does follow an allocation plan, which I have included below, to come up with portions for the various departments. 20% of each department's library funds can be used for media. Some never do. I have a separate operating budget, which includes some projector lamps and equipment repairs and replacements. Also sound equipment for live events. I buy 'popular' titles for the collection, plus some educational titles. I have tried to fill topic holes based on student searches and gaps I have noticed. I also get faculty requests, and fill them in three different ways. Some with multi-departmentaI use, or that 'should' be in the collection, I buy. Others I rent (usually the outrageously expensive ones), and I only try to ILL if I have a contact to call first, or there is no other option. I have also worked to combine funds from different departmental budgets and Media Services to buy the costly items. My funds end up being a buffer to acquire more than we might otherwise. Val Appendix B: Allocation of Funds Allocation of the departmental book budgets is based on the following criteria: credit hours generated, number of majors in a discipline, circulation in related call number areas, interlibrary loan figures, and the average book price in a discipline. Each of these criteria is weighted as follows and is applied to the total annual book budget: Credit Hours Generated 100 and 200 Levels 15% 300 and 400 Levels 25% Number of majors15% Use of Collection Circulation 25% Interlibrary Loan Requests 10% Cost (average from previous year’s purchases) Average Price 10% ___ 100% On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 10:39 AM, Moshiri, Farhad mosh...@uiwtx.edu wrote: Dear Colleagues, Our library is considering implementing percentage allocation formula for acquisition of library materials including audiovisual materials.

[Videolib] AIME primer
The much publicized educational video streaming dispute between AIME (Association for Information Media and Equipment, www.aime.org) and UCLA poses a number of complicated copyright questions. Arnold Lutzker prepared a primer on educational video streaming recently as counsel for AIME. The article puts the dispute in context and addresses Fair Use, as well as the TEACH Act and face-to-face teaching exemptions in Section 110 of the Copyright Act. The thrust of the article is to underscore that the copyright law does not countenance a one-size fits all solution to video streaming. For educators who want to rely upon the legal exceptions rather than author permissions, they must be prepared to do serious homework on a work-by-work basis, and realize that use of many videos created by educational publishers, like AIME members, are not available for unlicensed streaming. Streaming without careful consideration of the nature of the work in question risks the real prospect that the use is outside the scope of the limitations and thus a copyright violation. AIME hopes this piece will lead not only to a balanced and enlightened discussion of video streaming practices, but also to implementation of responsible digital practices.

Re: [Videolib] AIME primer
Thanks, Betty I think it is very important to point out that Mr. Lutzker's primer was developed for AIME, an industry group representing the interests of intellectual property owners and their agents. Lawyers representing the interests of end-users in educational and artistic communities may very well have considerably different takes on these matters. In other words, there is no gospel and--at present, at least--no defining case law in the matter of streamed video. Thanks for posting this interesting take on the issues.

Re: [Videolib] INTELECOM Video Clip Repository
Here at Grossmont College we will be starting a subscription to Intelecom for the 2010-11 school year. We, along with other community colleges in the San Diego area, had been looking into this new resource over the past few months, and liked what we saw. The video clips are all geared toward higher ed., can be easily embedded into Blackboard, have good resolution when shown on a screen in a classroom, and are all closed captioned (an important feature for California Community Colleges, since we are mandated by the State to provide captioned videos only). The Intelecom interface is very intuitive to use. When we saw that the Community College Library Consortium is offering Intelecom as one of their spring offers, we decided to subscribe to it for the coming year. I'll be marketing it heavily to the faculty during the 2010-11 school year and then evaluating its usage.

Gary and all, AIME is an association with membership representing educational institutions as well as producers and distributors of media content. In fact, the institutional membership is far greater than that of the corporate world. Public libraries, school systems, colleges/universities and regional educational service agencies have found AIME to be beneficial in providing guidance as they strive for copyright compliance with faculty, administrators and students. Recent questions coming into the AIME office and answered by attorney Arnold Lutzker have included those related to creative commons, digital yearbooks and photos, differences between trademarks and copyrights, use of iPods and podcasting in the classroom, downloading video and audio content, PowerPoint and posts concerns.as well as streaming video issues. AIME seeks to provide a balanced view that guides toward responsible uses of copyrighted materials. In case those reading these list-serv posts are not aware of some of Mr. Lutzker's work in the legislative area, he has represented a consortium of five national library associations on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA), and the TEACH Act.
